Abstract: The present invention provides a photochargeable layered capacitor comprising a layered capacitor unit and a photovoltaic electrode unit. The layered capacitor unit comprises an outer counter-electrode layer, an outer storage material layer, a separator impregnated with an ionic electrolyte, an inner storage material layer and an inner counter-electrode layer in this order. The photo-voltaic electrode unit comprises a transparent substrate, a transparent conductive layer, a semiconductor layer and a charge transfer layer in this order. The charge transfer layer of the photovoltaic electrode unit is in junction with an outer surface of the inner counter-electrode layer of the layered capacitor unit. The inner counter-electrode layer comprises a single metal sheet.
